I am a voting constituent from Davis, California, and I am writing to express my deep concern about the recent actions taken by the current administration, which have resulted in the dismissal of numerous scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These firings threaten the integrity of crucial environmental protections that safeguard our air, water, and public health. As a nation, we rely on the expertise and dedication of the EPA’s scientists to tackle the urgent issues of climate change, environmental pollution, and public health crises. By eliminating these professionals, the administration undermines the scientific community and jeopardizes efforts to address critical environmental challenges. I urge you to take immediate action to prevent further dismissals and to advocate for the protection of the EPA’s scientific workforce. These experts play a vital role in ensuring that our policies are grounded in solid scientific research, and their work is essential to the well-being of current and future generations. Please consider raising this issue in your capacity as a public servant, and working to ensure that the EPA can continue to function without political interference that undermines the importance of scientific integrity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
